Thanks! I have a couple more, which is just as well because my child is being born within the next fortnight…have to get him interested in synthesizers and old computers early. So, good bedtime stories 😂 I did also consider removing any technology older than 1993 from the Household and pretending that newer systems don’t exist 🤣
I wonder if you might consider a video on Ring Modulation? You made a post on GS recently mentioning using the ring mod on the Roland MC707(using ring mod along with a peaking filter), that really opened up my ears to the joys of ring modulation. I really don't understand it very well though, and feel like I'm probably not the only one.
I think that’s definitely a good idea, I could get my friend Wayne to help me, he has built dalek voice modulators that have impressed a real dalek actor!
Wow that was quite a ride, loved both the presentation style and all those glorious reverbs and yes please more from the Rex 50. Love your style, one of the best and most original tech/synth music videos I’ve seen ever in fact, bravo! Applause, applause…
Had a chance to nab a VF1 for 30 bucks years back , but it was in a bin sell without the psu so I passed , kicking myself 😅also banger @4:40 btw ! your affinity for the textures in your fx , the 80s pop , 90s industrial , and synthwave influences +Ensoniq love all hit home in a kindred way . Solidarity! The Nick Batt cut ins also brilliant also missed a PWM meme in there though 😅
Super good. Love your insights on Sonic Talk. Congrats on the new baby to you and your wife, and rocking good show (love the humor bits thrown in. You had me at Vangelis "shirts optional")
been so looking forward to this channel launch since discussed on Sonic talk, love the format/editing chops, great stuff looking forward to part 2 please keep them coming
Thanks. I was ok with mastering the music but I’d never done a voiceover this long before, so it was quite a challenge to not overly massage the recorded sentences and paragraphs 😂
I really love the retro stylings (both musical & visual), the pace & the information here. I'd love to hear more about the rex 50 (including how to go about that mod), your transwave patch & bunches more....
Nicely done. Makes me want to be like X(p)anderbeanz when I grow up. And I was completely surprised to see the REX50 show up ... or maybe not: being modified makes a big difference. But I guess I can dig mine out and use it in public now :)
This was so good! Informative. Visually and audibly interesting. Keeps you watching AND listening. Great editing effort, music, and effects! Some humor! Wow! Fantastic! On a side note, I still remember my first time using a digital reverb unit from Roland, I think? My mother no longer needed it. So I connected my Amiga's audio output to it and added amazing reverb to everything. I was floored! (this was around 1989)
A deep dive into any gear is always an insight. I own Yamaha REV100 & Behringer DSP2024P Multi FX both sound great & setup nicely with midi control. Who needs Eventide anyway? Great video, nice to see guitar too. 👍🙂
Nice one Paulee. I wonder if living my teenage years in Bromsgrove endears me to your delivery? Either way it's been worth the wait. Great video. Thanks and good luck with your impending family addition.
I've just discovered your channel, and I'm enjoying it very much as an Amiga / synth head. Super cool!! I've got a super nerdy question: at 7:54 there's a graphical glitch... is that "The Sacred Armour of Antiriad" in the background? Greetings from Spain!!!
Thanks a bunch! I can’t actually remember what program I was running when I got that glitch, but I loved that I’d captured it because I use it all the time now lol!
Loving the retrodelic vibes, awesome video! I feel like I should watch part two on a CRT :-) Are you scanning Amiga RAM after that Ensoniq bit, with something like Audiomaster perhaps? Definitely looks like Amiga bitplanes to me :-)
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 Ahh, nice :-) Never user Memflick, but looks like it had a similar function. In Audiomaster you could just play the memory contents and save ranges as samples. (Most of my Amiga sample collection is ripped from games and demos this way :-)
I am notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, and by that I mean that I tend to tell people to "Just get me an effect pedal". My wife, having eyeballed my browser history, decided to surprise me by buying a, gasp, Chasebliss preamp (the one with the sliders) for my birthday last year. The trouble is that the shop sent along a CXM1978 reverb instead. It is the happiest accident ever and the only thing wrong with it (aside from the price) is that it doesn't leave any reverb for anyone else. It has all the reverb. I am a reverb miser, now, and nobody is going to get their fair share. The sliders are neat, but the capabilities of this box, even a year on, has yet to be fully explored. It's completely bonkers. If you find yourself saying "Self, instead of buying a midrange priced guitar or a recapped Amiga 1200 you should get a reverb instead" then you should seriously consider buying this reverb. I also just realized that I should probably pre-load my browser history with Sherman Filterbank stuff.
Sweet little story & review rolled into one 😊, alas, no more reverb for me for the foreseeable as I’ve recently acquired a Lexicon PCM81 and due to the algorithmic depth and modulation available in the box, I should be kept busy for approximately 20-30 years 😂
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 I think I owe you a pint, after a quick look on ebay I saw a VF1 for £100. It did have a slightly damaged power/input knob, but all fixed now….👍 Great sounding fx and you can kind of control parameters with cv…. and I do love boss half rack fx.
Magical. Why can't I have friends like Circuit Ben instead of guys like Drinking My Beer Dave? His nickname doesn't even feature any witty wordplay. I'm thankful for the friends I have, don't get me wrong, and I love you like a brother, Dave, but who's gonna circuit bend my Rex-50 if you keep drinking my beer?
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 I'm too out of too many loops to know if things go viral, but if this hasn't yet, why not, what is wrong with people, first they drink your beer and now this
Hello adventurers, are there any other bits of equipment that you saw in the video that you’d like me to cover?
«I should do a documentary on this sometime»
VF1 and a bunch of EPS16+ here, i really liked the REX50 craziness!🤯
Also, the REX is spectacular!
Have you played around with ZOIA?
@@DetroitMicroSound sadly I haven’t tried the Zoia yet, it was on my radar but I went with the Poly Beebo instead.
Did I hear mention of SID? *desire to learn more intensifies*
Fantastic enjoyable watch 🪐😁👍 all that and a wonderful shiny blue gummi glove 👍
Finally is the video out! Been hyped about this. So happy for your contributions to Sonic Talk! The show really leveled up! Peace from Sweden.
I enjoyed Sonic Talk anyway, but thank you! 😊
Wow I would love to hear more from that modified Rex 50. Those pitched down sounds are out of this world.
CRUST 👌🏻
Your productions and calm way of explaining are just fantastic! On my way through them all now! greets from fellow Amiga/music-geek in Norway!
I have spent many hours reading meditation scripts 😂
Superb, looking forward to more of this, and more Usborne book cameos!

MORE REX 50!!!! Boss VF1 as well please, that's some serious ring modulation.
Yes please. The active playing of the REX was especially nice, might have to figure out that mod.
Great first episode! Yes more rex50 and VF 1!
The Boss VF1 is now on my shopping list. Sigh. In other news, yes, you should do a video about the SID chip. 🖖

Awesome! Really love the otherworldly sounds you got from the VF-1.
Hey Paulee....this is not just interessting but also partly very funny and well produced
Good, subed :) loved the Nick Batt delta cep A moment :).
great video love the retro vibe
Absolutely brilliant! Looking forward to the next vid.
I really bloody enjoyed that! Also lovely strat! 😀
Thanks! You can turn the bridge and middle pickups into a Hum-cancelling configuration :)
Thanks Paulee! That was fab! Would love to hear more of the Boss VF1 - that sounded fantastic with the ringmod. I have done as you asked and subbed!
Had a chance to nab a VF1 for 30 bucks years back , but it was in a bin sell without the psu so I passed , kicking myself 😅also banger @4:40 btw !
your affinity for the textures in your fx , the 80s pop , 90s industrial , and synthwave influences +Ensoniq love all hit home in a kindred way .
Solidarity!
The Nick Batt cut ins also brilliant also missed a PWM meme in there though 😅
The VF1 PSU is actually kinda pricey as it’s 14VAC! Anyhow thanks for the lovely comments 😊
@@magicalsynthadventure3216 Thanks for the cool videos and banger musical bits

So... is this what "gear porn" looks like..? :) Compelling yet strangely subversive... I feel naughty for enjoying it. (Thanks for the shout out!)

I bought Rex 50 for 50€! Would love to get some schematics of the mods. Would add to the value!
I don’t have the knowledge I’m afraid, but circuitbenders.co.Uk might help you out? 😊
Wow that clock mod on the Rex50 is fantastic. Does anyone know if an SPX90 can get a similar mod?
The topology must be similar, so I bet something could be done.
Great video! I have a REX50 is there any info online about modding this?
